D Correct answer
Explanation

An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. Here, 'the gym teacher' renames 'Mr. Malone.' A direct object receives action, a predicate adjective follows a linking verb, and a predicate nominative renames the subject after a linking verb.
